It would be helpful to visualize the the types of contributions and committee contributions to candidates.

There's about $6 billion of expenditures that we are not really explaining.

Committee independent expenditures are the big gap that we are not covering right now that actually had a big impact in the 2020 election cycle. This is when a committee spends money in support or detraction of a particular candidate but without the candidates knowledge or direction, acting independently of the candidate.

We need to design the UI changes as well as build the frontend & backend changes for this larger FR.
FYI @StevenWuzz
